Very nicely handled, smoothing things between Punkin and I.
Two grown women with very different views, neither one right or wrong.
Still have that mirror out my friend?
Punkin and Jack,
By no means was I saying stay and let it continue.
I am not also advocating throwing away an entire life based on even that particular action.
Only Rlay can decide if she wants to walk in that way and slam the door shut, or if she wants to do the work on herself, and when she is stronger, see if he has done the work on himself.
It does not sound to me like they live together, like the actual physical abuse is continuing at this point in time...
So what harm is there in continuing to detatch, heal, and then seeing what is down the road?
If she does this, I would bet everything I own that she would not be willing to go back to him if he was going to continue that sort of behavior anyway...
Is it possible for someone like that to change? It is. It really is. Never say never...
